I was born in Mestre Venice and after a career as a reporter in daily newspapers in Venice and Milan, I joined Reuters Italy ('til May 2011), where I covered current affairs, culture and innovation. My stories for the international news agency have been published in The Guardian, The Independent, Washington Post and New York Times.
In 2008 I launched a personal, independent multimedia project through the web, spending six month with my family in Palo Alto California, where I interviewed many Italian entrepreneurs, scientists and other prominent figures in Silicon Valley. Italiani di Frontiera (Frontier Italians), www.italianidifrontiera.com, is a storytelling trip about the secrets of Italian talent and also examines some of the obstacles impeding Italian innovators in their own country.
Italiani di Frontiera today is on the Internet with a web site, a video channel on YouTube, and social networks on Facebook and LinkedIn. It connects Italian managers abroad and many students and young entrepreneurs all over the country.
Italiani di Frontiera tours Italy with live multimedia conferences and training seminars for managers. Coming soon: a book, a web tv and a theatrical performance, with an English version for international audiences.
Las summer l leaded first Italiani di Frontiera Silicon Valley Tour, with a group of entrepreneurs and managers, meeting Italian entrepreneurs and scientists in the Bay Area. I am also planning a Study Tour on the East Coast.
I discovered the keyword, for Italians in Silicon Valley, is "Think Out Of The Box".
